- the diagram on the right side of the center arrow shows the calculated number of passengers.
- the control device 9 calculates the number of passengers in the traveling direction for each floor from the current position of the car 2 to the 10th floor.
- the number of passengers on departure from the 5th and 6th floors is the two currently on the car 2. Since there is one passenger in the car 2 on the seventh floor, the number of passengers on the seventh floor is three. Since one person gets off the car 2 on the 8th floor, the number of passengers on the 8th floor is 2. Similarly, the number of passengers on the 9th floor is calculated as one. The number of passengers on the 10th floor is calculated as 0.
- the car 2 moves to the first floor after arriving on the 10th floor.
- the control device 9 calculates the number of passengers in the reverse direction for each floor from the 10th floor to the first floor. That is, in the reversal direction, the car 2 is ridden one by one on the 8th and 6th floors. Also, get off one person from the car 2 on the 4th and 1st floors. Therefore, the number of passengers when the car 2 leaves each floor is as shown in FIG.
- the car 2 returns to the current position after arriving on the first floor.
- the control device 9 calculates the number of passengers in the rear direction for each floor from the first floor to the fourth floor. The car 2 does not answer the call while moving from the first floor to the fourth floor. For this reason, the number of passengers when the car 2 departs from the first floor to the fourth floor is calculated as zero.
- control device 9 compares the calculated number of passengers with the set upper limit value of the number of passengers.
- the control device 9 transmits excess information to the group management device 1 when the number of passengers when leaving any floor exceeds the upper limit.
- the group management device 1 determines whether there is a car 2 in which the number of passengers exceeds the upper limit (S109).
- the group management device 1 excludes the car 2 whose number of passengers exceeds the upper limit from the assignment candidate car for the registered call (S110). In other words, the group management device 1 excludes the car 2 of the car from which the control device 9 has transmitted excess information from the allocation candidate cars.
- the group management device 1 selects the car 2 whose number of passengers is always equal to or lower than the upper limit value on the set route as an assignment candidate car.
- the group management device 1 determines the car 2 to be assigned to the registered call from the cars 2 selected as the assignment candidate car (S111). The group management device 1 determines the assigned car based on the number of stops of the car 2 when the registered call is assigned and the upper limit value of the set number of stops. The group management device 1 may consider the waiting time of the user when determining the assigned car.
- the function for determining the assigned car will be described below with reference to FIG. The following description is an example of a function for determining an assigned car.

- the group management device 1 calculates the number of stops when the call registered in S201 is assigned to each assignment candidate car (S202). Next, the group management apparatus 1 determines whether there is an allocation candidate car whose number of stops calculated in S202 is equal to or less than the upper limit value (S203). For example, when the car 2A is an assignment candidate car, the group management device 1 sets the number of stops of the car 2A when the call registered in S201 is assigned to the car 2A and the upper limit value of the number of stops acquired from the control device 9A. Compare. The group management device 1 performs the same comparison for each allocation candidate car, and specifies an allocation candidate car whose number of stops is equal to or less than the upper limit value.
- the group management apparatus 1 When there is no allocation candidate car whose number of stops is equal to or less than the upper limit value, the group management apparatus 1 adds 1 to the upper limit value of the number of stops for each allocation candidate car (S204). Then, the group management apparatus 1 performs the determination in S203 again. If there is an allocation candidate car whose number of stops is equal to or less than the upper limit, the process proceeds to S205.
- the group management apparatus 1 determines whether there are a plurality of allocation candidate cars whose number of stops is equal to or less than the upper limit value. When there is only one allocation candidate car whose number of stops is equal to or less than the upper limit value, the group management apparatus 1 selects the allocation candidate car as an allocation car (S206). When there are a plurality of allocation candidate cars whose number of stops is equal to or less than the upper limit value, the group management apparatus 1 performs another evaluation on the allocation candidate cars. For example, the group management apparatus 1 calculates how much the waiting time of the user increases before and after the registered call is assigned for the plurality of assignment candidate cars. The group management device 1 selects an allocation candidate car with the smallest increase in waiting time as an allocation car (S207).
- the group management device 1 transmits the determined allocation car information to the registration device 10 that has transmitted the call registration request in S101 (S112).
- the registration device 10 causes the display device 12 to display the assigned car information received from the group management device 1.

For example, when the group management device 1 selects the car 2A as the assigned car, the group management device 1 transmits a response command to the control device 9A.
- the upper limit value of the number of passengers can be lowered or the upper limit value of the number of stops can be increased based on the predicted temperature of the driving device 7. Since necessary measures can be taken before the temperature of the drive device 7 actually increases, the drive device 7 can be prevented from falling into an overheated state. Even if the predicted temperature of the driving device 7 is equal to or higher than the threshold value, the speed of the car 2 does not decrease and the stop time of the car 2 does not become long. Convenience can be provided by preventing a significant drop in convenience.

- the dispatch command includes information on the floor to which the empty car is to be moved. In the following, the floor to which the empty car is moved is also referred to as the dispatch floor. When waiting for an empty car on the lobby floor, the lobby floor is the dispatch floor.
- the control device 9 predicts the temperature of the drive device 7 based on the dispatch command received from the group management device 1 (S302).
- the control device 9 first determines the route of the car 2 necessary for predicting the temperature of the drive device 7. For example, the control device 9 sets a route from when the car 2 leaves the current position to the vehicle allocation floor. Based on Equation 1, the control device 9 predicts the temperature T of the drive device 7 when the car 2 is moved along the determined path. The control device 9 determines whether or not the value of the predicted temperature T is equal to or higher than the threshold value Tth (S303).
- the control device 9 sets the delay time to a value larger than the default value.
- the delay time is a parameter for delaying the departure when the empty car departs toward the dispatch floor.
- the car 2 departs toward the vehicle allocation floor after the delay time has elapsed after the doors are completely closed after the responses to all calls have been completed. For example, 0 seconds is set as a default value for the delay time.
- the control device 9 sets the delay time to 10 seconds, for example, in order to delay the departure of the empty car for a certain time (S304).
- the delay time may be set to another value. For example, the delay time may be set to 15 seconds in S304.
- the control device 9 sets the delay time to a default value.
- the control device 9 sets the delay time to 0 seconds (S305).
- the delay time may be set to another value.
- the delay time may be set to 2 seconds in S305.
- the controller 9 dispatches the car 2 based on the delay time set in S304 or S305 (S306).
- the elevator control system having the above configuration can prevent the drive device 7 from being overheated when an empty car is dispatched. If the value of the predicted temperature T is smaller than the threshold value Tth, the empty car dispatch is started immediately. It can prevent that operating efficiency falls.
- the elevator control system according to the present invention can be applied to a system for inputting a destination floor before a user gets on a car.
- 1 group management device 2 cages, 3 counterweights, 4 main ropes, 5 hoisting machines, 6 electric motors, 7 drive units, 8 temperature detectors, 9 control units, 10 registration units, 11 input units, 12 indicators

特許文献1に記載されたシステムでは、電動機の温度が設定温度に達すると、戸閉釦を押しても戸が閉まらなくなる。これにより、電動機の起動頻度を低下させている。
図1は、この発明の実施の形態1におけるエレベータ制御システムを示す構成図である。群管理装置1は、ビル等に設置された複数台のエレベータを一群として管理する。図1は、群管理装置1がA号機、B号機及びC号機を群管理する場合を一例として示している。以下においては、どの号機に属する機器であるのかを特定する場合、符号の後にAからCの何れかを付す。即ち、A号機の機器に対しては、符号の後にAを付す。B号機の機器に対しては、符号の後にBを付す。C号機の機器に対しては、符号の後にCを付す。
入力装置11は、利用者が乗場で行先階を入力するための装置である。図1に示された入力装置11は、0から9までの数字が付された10個の釦と星印が付された釦とマイナス記号が付された釦とを備える。入力装置11の形態は、図1に示す形態に限定されない。入力装置11は、かご2が停止する階毎の釦を備えても良い。
群管理装置1は、先ず、登録した呼びの情報を制御装置9に通知する。図1に示す例では、群管理装置1は、登録した呼びの情報を制御装置9A乃至9Cに通知する。制御装置9は、群管理装置1から通知された呼びの情報に基づいて、駆動装置7の温度を予測する(S102)。
RTT:かご2が設定経路を移動するのに要する時間
L :設定経路においてかご2が上方向に移動する距離
P :かご2の容量
N :かご2が停止する回数
T0 :温度検出器8によって検出された現在の温度
k1、kn、μ:係数
である。
F:ロビー階より上方にある階の数
C:システムに備えられたかご2の台数
である。
群管理装置1は、登録装置10から呼びの登録要求を受信すると、乗場呼びと行先呼びとを登録する(S201)。また、群管理装置1は、S105又はS107で設定された停止数の上限値の情報を、制御装置9から取得する。
図7は、この発明の実施の形態2におけるエレベータ制御システムの動作を示すフローチャートである。本実施の形態では、空かごを何れかの階に配車する時の動作について説明する。空かごとは、全ての呼びへの応答が完了し、利用者が誰も乗っていないかご2のことである。例えば、全ての呼びへの応答が完了したかご2をロビー階で待機させる場合に、図7に示す動作が行われる。
